Jordan Lynch is 24-3 as the NIU Huskies’ starting quarterback in two seasons, including a 12-1 mark in 2013. He has one game remaining as he will lead NIU into the 2013 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl against Utah State on December 26, 2013.

Of course, it isn’t only about winning the trophy. It’s a marketing device for the school; and the league. And it increases the player’s NFL Draft stock. Yes, I know that previous sentence sounds exactly like that famous scene in the 1993 classic college football movie “The Program.” When the school told ESU Timberwolves quarterback Joe Kane:
“I think both you and the school are best served with a straight-forward Heisman campaign. As long as you can back it up on the field. And we don’t doubt that, because Kane is Able.”
“It helps to get our name out there to the nation,” Jordan Lynch said NIU Huskies Chicago Media Day.
